Gucci’s ‘Moonlight Serenade’ is so short-lived, as it’s only a scented water, but in those moments it’s with you, it’s such a beautiful, realistic lavender soliflore.

 

The sage and tonka bean only dust the periphery of the scent, suggesting a whisper of something more aromatically nuanced. The white china bottles with the delicate vintage green and pink floral design is delectably cute. The demure romantic detailing, reminiscent of long-lost summers, from quaint Victorian English country gardens. You can see this bottle upon an elegant French renaissance dressing table.

This shy and fleeting fragrance is like Cinderella, as soon as she enters the ball, she’s the most authentic and beautiful thing you’ve ever experienced, but as the party warms-up and the clock strikes midnight, she’s suddenly gone, and doesn’t even leave behind her shoe.
